Verdict
Subsequent Grade 3 winner Shotgun Paddy won this last year and his trainer will be hoping for a big run from Mosspark, who won his first three runs over hurdles before being pulled up in the Albert Bartlett at The Festival in March. SAUSALITO SUNRISE finished sixth in that race having still been in contention on the turn for home. He's another likely to have a future over fences so gets the nod today as he has more scope than Awaywiththegreys. Minella On Line should be winning over the larger obstacles soon and likewise Sego Success but Leo Luna has a Flat pedigree so this test may come as a bit of a shock.
